Selma Blair has given fans a sneak peek
inside her makeup routine! On Sunday (March 31), the celebrated actress took to
Instagram to share a quick beauty tutorial and brought some laughter to her viewers
at the same time.

In the video, the 46-year-old can be seen
lifting a large fluffy makeup brush to her face, and swishing it around on her
skin before declaring the look complete. Selma captioned the hilarious post: “I couldn’t make this get onto my ig story
cause... I don’t know. But here is my solution to applying makeup with a lack
of fine motor skills.
#laugh and feel free to reapply my makeup. #makeuptutorial#real.”

Just before sharing, she took to her
Instagram stories to explain why doing her own makeup isn’t always easy. “My
fine motor skills aren’t like fine at the moment, so I just wanna say I’m gonna
probably give a mek up tutorial… never,” Selma joked. “But if I do, you know
I’m really just trying to have fun. Because I’ve noticed that I put my make up
on in the morning, and all day people are rubbing my face… So MS people, brush
big, bronzer, there, done, stop, bye.”

Back
in February, the former
Anger Management
star was shot for Vanity Fair,
wearing a stunning multi-coloured gown and a cape fastened around her neck, which
Selma accessorized with a cane she uses to help her walk. It clearly touched
the lives of her fans who also have multiple sclerosis, one of whom commented
on the cover photo: “I don’t think people believe what we go through, and often
times, they think we are making it up.”

The tutorial comes in the wake of Selma’s
multiple sclerosis diagnosis, which she disclosed to her fanbase in October
2018 with a heartfelt post thanking her costumer, Allisa Swanson, for helping
her during fittings. The post read: “I
was in this wardrobe fitting two days ago. And I am in the deepest gratitude.
So profound, it is, I have decided to share. The brilliant costumer
#Allisaswanson not only designs the pieces #harperglass will wear on this new #Netflix show , but she carefully gets my legs in my pants,
pulls my tops over my head, buttons my coats and offers her shoulder to steady
myself. I have
#multiplesclerosis.” Selma went on to thank friends like
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. for their support since her August
2018 diagnosis. In the post, she also said she had lived with the symptoms for
years before getting an official label for them.
